In this episode, managing editor Natalie Argerious and reporter Ray Dubicki discuss the lingering haze over the city of Seattle. After a soaking wet spring, the region has seen less rain than the desert southwest. This is not the grey north we signed up for.
The real toll comes on individuals that cannot go inside, and there are services being extended to shelter and comfort them. For many, including ourselves, the lingering haze leads to more consumptive patterns like driving instead of walking. These are the patterns that are changing the climate in the first place. Are there any positives to see on the other side of this?
